Hidden Figures (2016)

Based on an incredible true story, Hidden Figures dramatises the pivotal role that a group of African-American female mathematicians played in sending astronaut John Glenn into space. As the United States races against Russia in the 1960s space race, Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe) overcome discrimination and prejudice to rise through the ranks of NASA. Hidden Figures is irresistibly inspirational and uplifting, whilst highlighting an important, but until now largely unknown, story.
